My Students

My students continue to face many challenges in their young lives. Although they have many stressors in their lives, they come to school on a daily basis ready and willing to learn. They continue to bring their "A" game everyday so that they can accomplish all of their individual goals.

My students need and DESERVE to have all of the available resources in order for them to access their individualized instruction on a daily basis, which in turn will allow them to feel successful.

My Project

As I enter my 30th year of teaching, I know that this year will be one of the hardest yet. We, as a class, are used to sharing and utilizing all materials together but things will have to change for this upcoming school year.

After almost a full year of virtual/hybrid learning, my students and I will be entering a school building that will require a lot of flexibility.

The use of individual work stations are a must and the classroom organization space will have to be utilized to keep material organized when not in use. The cabinet requested will help me to keep some of our classroom supplies safe for my kiddos.
